“Crikey! What a lot of words! :)

I had a choice between working in the centre and working up near Cribbs and the traffic was a major factor in me working centrally.

I've been stuck up there a few times and it's miserable. Chuck in a screeching baby and whining child and you're into "Falling Down" territory.”

“I agree with Helen as i also work on the estate but I'd go a bit further by making Highwood lane a oneway from the motorway roundabout up to Asda roundabout thus doing away with the lights at the junction with Merlin Rd, this will help the traffic getting off the estate onto the motorway a lot quicker, Also the lights by the Tile shop would go as access is right turn only from the one way system, access would still be possible from Lysander Rd but to exit from this way you have to come back to Lysander Rd. Then from Asda roundabout up to the lights towards the trading estate this again is a one way, do away with the little used cycle path and make it two lanes again (never understood the logic in that when they put that in) as there is plenty of room to widen the pavement to make a cycle path, left turn at the lights is access only to trading estate and again back entrance to Asda closed. From the traffic lights up towards the roundabout (Jupiter Rd) make this one way, left lane for Highwood Rd exit and right hand lane for the stores and motorway. Next get rid of the rat runs like between Wicks and Toys r us, you can use this for more car parking for the two stores or for green space thus doing away with more lights, for access to Tesco Direct etc you can still turn left but again a oneway around to Lysander Rd. Last but by no means least a proper monitoring system so that the Police or Highways Agency can hold the lights on green longer to get the traffic out onto the motorway at extreme times, this should also include all the lights along Highwood Rd especially the set on the roundabout and hopefully by next Christmas the bridge will be finished to easy the congestion a bit more.”

“There is nothing wrong with the roads into and out of Cribbs.
The issue is with people who are stupid enough to all want to be there at midday to mid afternoon.
I left it until the evening, didnt have an issue at all, regardless of what the BBC was reporting.”
